Practicing Saam acupuncture since 2021 TORONTO COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE

Biography

A few years after starting my practice in in 2000, I was ignited by the community acupuncture model. Years of holding space in community clinics have given me an infinite awe for our bodies’ innate ability to heal, particularly when assisted by a few well-placed needles and a safe environment. To access this self-regulation, we need to begin to inhabit our bodies. As someone who re-learns that lesson frequently, I bring my own mindfulness practice to clinic. I often see my most important job as helping patients to befriend and trust their bodies, whatever their health concerns.

In 2021 I fell in love with Saam acupuncture, which continues to teach me about the dance of simplicity and intricacy. Patients love Saam treatments too! I’ve also been drawn back to the deep study of classical Chinese herbalism via Sharon Weizenbaum’s Graduate Mentorship Program. Both disciplines are endlessly challenging and enriching.
